NARRATOR:
A fiery object

crashes into the Earth

and ignites the modern UFO era.

It would become the
absolute touchstone event

and the best‐known
event in the world

connecting our reality
to the E.T. phenomenon.

NARRATOR:
For more than seven decades,

the Army has denied
what it initially reported...

that it had recovered
a flying disc.

But could evidence
of such an event still exist?

‐Oh, my God.
There is something there,

and we need to dig it up.

NARRATOR:
Are there remnants
of alien technology

scattered in the
New Mexico desert?

LINDA MOULTON HOWE:
I think he's holding something

made by another intelligence.

I have never, ever seen
anything like this.

NARRATOR:
And could materials

already recovered
soon reveal the truth

about an extraterrestrial
presence on Earth?

There's something big
going on here.

I'm getting chills because
we've got some elements

that are showing up...
they shouldn't be there.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
If the evidence has not yet been

uncovered, that does
not mean the evidence

is not there.

NARRATOR:
There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is the
promise of truth.

It demands we
question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right
before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

NARRATOR:
Los Angeles, California.

October 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos...

‐Hey, Linda.
‐...is meeting up

with investigative journalist
Linda Moulton Howe

at a secure storage facility.

‐All right, let's do it.
‐Let's go.

NARRATOR:
For more than two decades,

Linda has been in possession of
highly unusual metal fragments

given to her by
someone who claims

they were extracted
from an extraterrestrial craft.

‐Man, this is some door.

Okay.

Well, over the years,

I've learned that this is really

‐pretty valuable.
‐Right.

And that I better
keep it in something

‐like a safety deposit box.
‐Right.

NARRATOR:
In recent months,

the United States Army
has taken an interest

in doing its own examination
of these materials.

Linda is eager to show
Giorgio just what it is

that has caught
the Army's attention.

Here is where the magic
bismuth magnesium zinc resides.

There it is, inside
the magic box.

Yeah. Here, I'll take it
over here and show it to you.

I have found,

since having this

in 1996

and evolving with research, that

it has become now so valuable.

What am I looking at, Linda?
What is this?

Well, here is...

You see all these layers?

‐Yeah.
‐When you go to a scanning

‐electron microscope...
‐Huh.

...and you see that the black,

the black side...
it's pure bismuth,

and it's one to four microns,
which is about

half the size of a blood cell,

and then it's alternating
just like a torte cake.

‐TSOUKALOS: Yeah.
‐And the top silver...

that's the magnesium‐zinc alloy.

‐Okay.
‐So,

layer by layer by layer
in microns.

TSOUKALOS:
It's almost as if it's reflective, too.

HOWE:
Yes, and when you get it

in the sun,
it looks like a snowfield.

And that's the magnesium zinc.

NARRATOR:
In addition to this layered material,

Linda also has an
unusual piece of aluminum.

HOWE:
As I understand

from a physicist, it is this

pure aluminum,
99.5% pure aluminum.

TSOUKALOS:
As far as I know, we
can't produce 99 point...

I mean, this is incredibly pure.

So where were these
pieces allegedly found?

HOWE:
These came out of White Sands

in New Mexico,
outside of Roswell.

Is there a connection
to Roswell with this piece?

NARRATOR:
In July of 1947,

an unidentified flying object

crashed to Earth in the desert

just outside
Roswell, New Mexico.

It is today the most famous
UFO event on record,

in part because it
was the Army itself

that reported the craft
as a flying disc.

BILL BIRNES:
July 8 and 9,
the newspaper headlines...

"Army Captures Flying Disc
Outside of Roswell."

How did the newspaper get
that story? Walter Haut.

He was the official
public information officer

at the Roswell 509th, who gave
the story to the newspaper.

NARRATOR:
But the military

quickly walked back its story.

Within days,
the mysterious Roswell UFO

was given an earthly origin,
when the government claimed

that the downed craft was
merely a weather balloon.

They changed it and said

it was a weather balloon
and everything else.

They said they took it

to Wright‐Patterson
Air Force Base in Ohio.

RICHARD DOLAN:
When you really think about this,

why on earth would
anyone send any kind

of weather balloon to Wright
Field for technical analysis?

None of it makes any
sense whatsoever,

unless that material
was much more exotic

and much more
scientifically interesting

than just a mere balloon.

DAVID CHILDRESS:
When you look

at the whole Roswell incident,

it seems to be a recovery that

was very much
a scrambled ad hoc thing.

And, in fact, witnesses
had been to the crash site

before the military got there.

So in the chaos of trying
to clean up this crash site,

you have to wonder that whether
they would really get it all.

Where would this material

actually go?

And would they have left
some of it behind,

just by accident?

NARRATOR:
In April 2011,

the FBI released thousands
of files

as part of its online FBI vault,

including a 1950 briefing

to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover

regarding informant information

about three flying saucers

that were recovered
in New Mexico.

Many researchers believe

this corroborates
long‐standing rumors

that the Roswell incident
involved not one

but three crashed UFOs.

And there were numerous
other incidents reported

during that time
period in the area

of Roswell and White
Sands Proving Ground

that remain mostly unknown.

You look at where the world
today, when they think

of a UFO crash,
they think of Roswell.

‐Mm‐hmm.
‐Certainly there
have been crashes

in New Mexico
outside of Roswell.

We know that there were a lot
of UFO crashes going

from the '40... like,
'47, '48, '49, and so forth.

How did you come into
possession of these pieces?

Well, I'll never forget the
day that Art Bell called me,

and he said,
"Linda, I received a box

with a letter, and there's
some metal pieces in here."

He said,
"I think they're aluminum,

but I want you
to start investigating."

That would have been
in 1996, that spring.

NARRATOR:
Art Bell was the founder

and original host
of the long‐running,

paranormal‐themed radio program
Coast to Coast AM.

In 1996, he and Linda began

to receive shipments in the mail

of small metallic fragments.

We started getting two shipments

coming from a man
who identified himself

in a series of five
typed letters.

And he said he was
an Army sergeant,

that his grandfather
had died in 1974,

and had left a box
that had a diary and metals.

And the Army sergeant said,

"I want you to have this
and see what you can find out."

NARRATOR:
The letters detail

how the grandfather extracted
the metallic items

from a wedge‐shaped craft

while working as a member
of a recovery crew

between Roswell and White Sands
Proving Ground in 1948.

Art Bell turned over these
mysterious fragments and letters

to Linda Moulton Howe
for further study.

In June of 1996,

Linda commissioned
university researchers

to use a scanning
electron microscope

and a technique known as "X‐ray
fluorescence spectrometry"

to analyze the samples.

The analysis revealed
alternating microscopic layers

of the metals bismuth,
magnesium and zinc

only microns thick,

a combination that baffles
exotic metal experts.

GEORGE KNAPP:
I think we've got technology
that we didn't make.

A lot of people
have come forward

with bits and pieces
of the same tale.

We are presently
analyzing metamaterials

that we did not make,

that's created in a way
that is beyond our technology.

TSOUKALOS:
Are there more pieces
of these items?

Well, for the last,
uh, 15 years,

I had a combination
of another piece

of the bismuth magnesium zinc

and another smaller
piece of the aluminum.

So, the pair that I had
before is now involved

with military testing.

NARRATOR:
In 2019,

Linda handed over
additional samples

of the exotic metals
for examination

by the United States Army.

As far as Linda is concerned,

even though the fragments were
allegedly taken from a craft

that was in the Army's
possession in 1948,

there are likely only
a handful of people

who are aware of its existence.

She is hopeful that the
examination of her materials

will prove that they were not
manufactured on Earth,

and perhaps those who know
what really happened at Roswell

will finally reveal
both the truth

and what they recovered
to the public.

Do you have any new leads
that maybe happened recently

of someone that has
found other material?

Well, there is a geologist
down in Roswell,

and he has sent
me e‐mails saying

that he's got exotic metals

and all of these materials.

And I think we
could go down there,

see what he has found so far,

and maybe go out with him
and explore ourselves.

Awesome. Let's go.

NARRATOR:
If multiple flying discs

crashed in the New
Mexico desert in 1947,

was all the debris
recovered long ago?

Or could there be remnants

that were spirited away
by curious locals

and military personnel,

and some still lying
out in the open,

waiting to be found?

NARRATOR:
Roswell, New Mexico.

July 1947.

NARRATOR:
Major Jesse Marcel,

the head intelligence officer
at Roswell Army Air Field,

travels to Fort Worth, Texas,

with the debris recovered
from the Roswell crash site.

He and Brigadier General
Roger Ramey,

head of the Eighth Air Force,

are scheduled to present
their findings to the media.

BIRNES:
Jesse Marcel flies to Fort Worth,

the headquarters of
the Eighth Air Force,

and he's set up
to tell the whole world

about the crash of a
flying saucer at Roswell,

except Roger Ramey
says to Jesse Marcel,

"Could you just go in the
map room for a second?

I want to arrange
some stuff out here."

The story from Jesse Marcel
and from the photographer

is that the real wreckage
had been spirited away.

"Hold up something.

"Get some Reynolds Wrap out...
off‐off the fish in your freezer

and hold it up and say that's
what you found, not a disc,"

which is exactly what they did.

And the reporters basically just
turned around, went home.

NARRATOR:
For UFO researchers,

evidence that the actual
wreckage from Roswell

was indeed replaced
with a weather balloon

can be found within the
notorious photograph,

along with clues as to what was
being hidden from the public.

When General Roger Ramey was,

uh, posing for photographs
with Jesse Marcel,

in the aftermath of all this,

you can see him very clearly
holding a piece of paper.

POPE:
General Ramey had a
document in his hands,

the so‐called Ramey Memo.

Modern forensic
document analysis

and photographic enhancement

has enabled some researchers
to zoom in on this

and to clarify at least
some portions of the text.

What it tells us is astounding.

Some of the phrases in the memo
are "victims of the wreck"

and "disc which we will ship."

So, clearly,

if the official story is true,

well, this makes no sense.

No, clearly, something more
than just a weather balloon

was involved here,

and the memo might
just be the smoking gun.

NARRATOR:
As far as Roswell researchers
are concerned,

the memo points to a cover‐up,

with the downed UFO
and its extraterrestrial crew

being shipped from the base

and locked away
from the public eye.

But if true,

might there be fragments
of evidence from the crash

that were small enough
to slip through the cracks?

The question is always, well,

where is the evidence,
where is the evidence?

Well, if the evidence
has not yet been uncovered

or dug out of the ground,

that does not mean
the evidence is not there.

NARRATOR:
Central New Mexico.

October 19, 2019.

Investigative journalist
Linda Moulton Howe

has invited ancient astronaut
theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos

to join her on a trip
to a spot in the desert

just outside Roswell,

very near what is known
as the "skip site."

According to eyewitnesses,
one of the three UFOs

seen in the sky in July 1947
first crashed to Earth

near this location, then was
propelled back into the air,

skipping like a stone in a pond
before finally coming to rest.

Linda was contacted
by geologist Frank Kimbler,

who wants to show her
mysterious metal fragments

that he found here and
search the area for more.

TSOUKALOS:
Linda, this is so exciting.

I have not been here
in a couple of years.

So, I'm really looking forward

‐t‐to meeting Frank.
‐Yeah.

Well, I'm glad that we've got
a geologist who's helping,

because the geologist
looks at land

and says if there is debris,

there's going to be some
kind of a drift with the land.

And, just from what I know,
he has studied

some areas meticulously.

Right.

NARRATOR: Giorgio and Linda
arrive at the skip site

and meet Frank Kimbler,

a local geologist and
professor of Earth science.

‐How are you? Good to see you.
‐Nice to meet you. How are you?

‐All right.
‐Frank, it is...

‐Linda. Finally.
‐Yes.

You and I have been
chasing these artifacts

‐from UFOs...
‐Chasing the metals...

‐...for so many years.
‐...looking for, looking for parts.

‐Yes!
‐It's great.

NARRATOR: Professor Kimbler
has spent nearly a decade

searching areas beneath
the purported trajectory

of the Roswell craft
with infrared technology

and metal detectors.

KIMBLER:
When an object crashes,
they're gonna scatter

a variety of materials around.

Knobs, control devices,
plastic, wires, whatever.

If it's coming apart, it's gonna
leave those pieces behind.

And those are the kinds
of pieces that I want to find

and have found some of.

NARRATOR:
Since 2011,
Professor Kimbler has uncovered

more than a dozen metal
fragments that he has subjected

to scientific testing and
found to be highly unique.

That's what...
We want to go out there and see

‐where you've been getting this.
‐TSOUKALOS: Yeah, I can't wait.

‐Frank.
‐Yeah?

What's inside the case?

Oh, this, this is
the magic right here.

This is some of the material
that I have found

out here, uh,
using a metal detector.

‐Uh...
‐TSOUKALOS: Interesting.

KIMBLER:
This stuff is, is very interesting.

It's all twisted and mangled up.

Something that you would expect

to happen from a, uh, a‐a crash

is to have metal that's‐that's
compact and twisted.

When Professor Kimbler laid out
his box of his pieces of metal,

the first thing that struck me

is these were
tiny, tiny, tiny fragments.

Could they possibly be
from wreckage?

These pieces are small, uh,

which is things that the
government would have missed.

‐Uh, yeah.
‐They wouldn't have
been able to find it.

And here's my magic.

Let's get a comparison here.

‐KIMBLER: Oh, look at that.
‐This...

HOWE:
Look at... it's like a snowfield.

After all these years, the...

all of the pieces,
they look absolutely pristine.

That's the magnesium zinc side.

KIMBLER:
This has got layers to it,
and that's amazing. That's...

‐But I bet you've never seen
anything like this.
‐No.

Being an Earth scientist,
being a geologist,

I've seen lots of all kinds
of materials that are out there.

I have never, ever seen
anything like this.

This fragment that
Linda is showing me,

it... that stuff
is absolutely amazing.

I've never seen anything
like it before in my life.

And what's interesting about it
is that it has some layers,

some banding on it.

And that banding is very similar
to some of the banding

that I found in photomicrographs
of the material

that I have from out here.

I think,
as Giorgio is holding this,

he's holding something made
by another intelligence

from some place
we don't understand.

And this is truly
extraterrestrial.

NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Giorgio
is holding an actual fragment

of an extraterrestrial craft?

And if so, could even more
incredible artifacts

still remain in the desert
outside Roswell?

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos

and investigative journalist
Linda Moulton Howe

are in an area
outside Roswell, New Mexico

with geologist Frank Kimbler.

I've got one of the, uh, the
infrared pictures right here,

that actually is,
it's kind of contrast‐enhanced.

NARRATOR:
As far as Professor Kimbler
is concerned,

if one or more
extraterrestrial crafts

really did crash in the desert,

the best place to find
more debris is right here.

Right now we are roughly about
maybe two, two and a half miles

from where the object
skipped down,

according to
eyewitness accounts.

This is actually the disturbed
area right here,

which is right
where we're going.

And it's right where
the eyewitness account

basically says that
the craft left a furrow.

So you can tell
that something went on.

It even looks like there's
a little a gouge mark

that was left by the
craft as it came in.

NARRATOR:
The disturbed area that
Professor Kimbler identified

has become known as the "gouge."

In 2002, an archeological dig
was conducted in this area

by the University of
New Mexico, Albuquerque,

to search for topographical
evidence of a UFO crash.

KIMBLER:
They found a V‐shaped gouge
that seemed to indicate

that something came down
and skated across the ground,

like a typical aircraft
crashing into the ground,

leaving a‐a big furrow there.

NARRATOR:
Author Donald Schmitt,
an advisor

to the International UFO
Museum & Research Center

board of directors,
took part in the excavation.

DONALD SCHMITT:
We flagged that area,

did electromagnetic
sensory testing of the sites

to sift through possible
samples from the crash.

All in an attempt to find
a piece of that missing evidence

that would demonstrate
once and for all

that this was something
extraordinary.

NARRATOR:
The dig collected
countless soil samples

from in and around the gouge.

But curiously, access to this
wealth of potential evidence

has been restricted

by the Bureau of Land
Management ever since.

KIMBLER:
There's 600 pounds of
stuff stored in a vault

in the Maxwell Museum
at the University of New Mexico

that nobody has looked at,
and it needs to be looked at.

NARRATOR:
Demands by UFO researchers

to be given access

to the contents of the 2002 dig

have fallen on deaf ears.

In the nearly two decades since,

the V‐shaped gouge has been
filled in with sediment,

but many believe

that if there is more
debris still to be found,

it is most likely
to be found here.

We need to get going,
and we need to get out there

so you guys can experience

finding some of this stuff,

‐which is amazing.
‐TSOUKALOS: All right.

Let's go explore.

HOWE:
So, where do you
think's best here now?

KIMBLER:
We're in the perfect spot.

And we're gonna cover
this whole thing right here.

NARRATOR:
Uncovering bits of debris
in this vast desert

is a daunting task,

but after nearly a decade
spent combing the entire area,

Professor Kimbler has
pinpointed certain hot spots.

Some of the artifacts
he brought with him today

were discovered
in this very location

just within the past month.

So, just above the
area of the ground,

we're gonna sweep
back and forth like this.

We're gonna cover this

side to side,

back and forth,
little by little.

I've been out here

six or seven or eight hours
at a whack swinging this thing

till my arms break off.

We can, uh, cut across this way.

HOWE:
You're waiting for that beep.

We're looking off in‐in
this general direction out here.

The craft basically

either had some kind
of mechanical failure

or something blew up.

NARRATOR:
Professor Kimbler scans
the area along the gouge,

meticulously covering
every inch.

After nearly two hours,

he has not detected
any metal objects.

Giorgio,
my arm is about to break off,

and I'm kind of hoping
that you just might have

‐a little bit better luck
than me doing this.
‐Sure. Let's see.

‐You saw what I was doing,
it's already fired up.
‐Yep. Okay.

And I'm gonna let you
swing this. And we can just...

‐Let's see if it's working.

‐There you go,
it's working perfect.
‐Great. Perfect. Excellent.

Maybe you'll be able to...

‐to get the magic flowing on this.
‐Mm‐hmm.

I think we need to head up
right over here because

this is right at
the base of the hill

and there's a bunch
of disturbed rocks.

Might be a good place to, uh,

‐to capture material
that has run off.
‐Okay.

‐It's also...
‐Oh!

NARRATOR:
Within just a few minutes of
taking over the metal detecting,

Giorgio gets a hit.

KIMBLER:
I heard something.

TSOUKALOS:
Yeah.

‐There is something.

KIMBLER:
Oh, my God.

KIMBLER:
There is something there
and we need to dig it up.

‐Let me help you find it.
‐Okay.

It's right here somewhere.

‐We'll find it.
‐It's right here.

‐We will find it.

KIMBLER:
You're on top of it.

‐You're right there.
‐Right there.

See if it's there.

It's in my hand.

Wow.

Now comes the hard part.

‐It's a‐a piece of wire.

All right. Okay.

‐A tiny little piece of wire.
‐Little wire.

KIMBLER:
We're gonna keep it. We're gonna
take it and have it analyzed

because maybe it's got
something in it that's weird.

Let's still investigate this.

KIMBLER:
We need to take it
and‐and have it tested.

NARRATOR:
Giorgio hands off the
metal detector to Linda,

who continues along the gouge.

Just a few feet from
where Giorgio detected

‐a piece of wire...
‐Oh.

...they get another hit.

‐All right. Oh.
‐Pick up your, uh,
your bracelet, too.

I tell you what,
let's, um, dump it,

dump it into this hand,
right here.

There we go.

It's another piece of wire.

TSOUKALOS:
This is strange‐looking, though.

‐Why is it so twisted and mangled?
‐I have no idea.

TSOUKALOS:
You said that if there was debris,

this would be one of the places

because of the geographic, uh...

‐terrain right here.
‐It's, it's runoff,

and this is what I've used time
and time again to find stuff.

NARRATOR:
As far as Giorgio and
Linda are concerned,

any metal objects found in
the so‐called "gouge" area

are worth examining.

Is it possible that these
bits of wire represent debris

from the 1947 crash that was
overlooked by the military?

NARRATOR:
Sergeant Melvin E. Brown,
who served in

the 509th Atomic Bomb Squadron
for the U.S. Army Air Force,

lies on his deathbed
at a local hospital.

With his dying words,
Brown reveals to his family

a secret that he has kept
hidden for nearly 40 years...

a secret about
what he saw in 1947

when he was stationed
in Roswell, New Mexico.

Sergeant Melvin Brown is
another key player in all of this.

He was rounded up
by higher command

in the aftermath of the crash.

He was essentially
put on guard duty.

And, intriguingly, there were
some low flatbed lorries

with tarpaulins over them.

SCHMITT:
The first opportunity he got,

he peeked inside
the back of the truck.

And there, under a canvas tarp,

were two of the bodies
from the crash site.

When he was on his deathbed,
he brought up Roswell.

Days before he passed away,
he talked about,

"It was not a weather balloon.
It wasn't from here.

And I saw two of the bodies,
and they were not human."

POPE:
Deathbed testimony is a critical
part of the Roswell story.

There are several.

There are many reasons

why some of the witnesses
stayed quiet for so long:

fear, threats.

All of this plays a part.

NARRATOR:
Many UFO researchers
believe that,

much like these
deathbed testimonies,

it is only a matter of time
before physical evidence

of a crashed extraterrestrial
craft finally surfaces.

And some even suggest

that such evidence has
already been recovered.

HOWE:
Here it is, right here.

NARRATOR:
One day after uncovering wires
near the Roswell skip site,

Giorgio Tsoukalos and Linda
Moulton Howe have traveled

to Theta Plate Lab,

where they are met
by owner Aaron Velasquez.

HOWE:
Hi.

It's good to finally meet you.

‐Welcome.
‐Hello.

NARRATOR:
Geologist Frank Kimbler
arrived earlier with

the metal fragments
he has collected

over the past eight years

in and around
the Roswell crash site.

Hey, Frank.
Good to see you again.

‐It's good to see you guys.
We're‐we're good.
‐Good to see you again.

‐Ready for some testing?
‐We're ready for some testing.

This is the exciting part.

‐Excellent.
‐I've been waiting for this.

NARRATOR:
Professor Kimbler's fragments

will be scientifically tested,

along with the wires they found
in the desert just yesterday

to determine their
elemental makeup.

VELASQUEZ:
So, we're gonna use this machine.

It's an X‐ray
florescence machine.

It can do
materials identification,

so we're gonna hit it
with an X‐ray beam

and it'll tell us
what it can tell us.

So, it has the ability to show
us the elements that are

in this within a certain range,
is that right?

‐VELASQUEZ: Correct, correct.
‐Mm‐hmm.

Okay, here we go.

So, we're seeing
a big peak here.

This is iron. All right.

What else seems like a match?

Well...

Selenium.

KIMBLER:
What in the world?

Yeah, that‐that is
exactly my reaction.

‐Yeah.
‐What is selenium
doing with that?

KIMBLER:
I know that selenium is used
in the electronics industry

for semiconductors.

Let's go ahead and, uh,

take a look at the
second wire, please.

‐That there is... selenium.
‐This is selenium.

‐Still?
‐VELASQUEZ: Yeah.

NARRATOR:
The makeup of the
second wire fragment

appears to be nearly
identical to the first.

Might the presence of selenium,
a semiconductor,

indicate that they were
part of an electronic device?

‐KIMBLER: This one.
‐VELASQUEZ: Okay.

NARRATOR:
Frank has also brought with him
a number of metal pieces

that he has gathered in the
same area over the years,

and has yet to test.

So, it looks like
it's a match for iron.

But I'm curious about
that little shoulder.

Copper.

‐KIMBLER: Okay.
‐Copper...

So, I mean, it's
dead‐on copper match.

‐KIMBLER: So, we know we've got
some copper in there.
‐Mm‐hmm.

And then this stuff over here...

I'd call it a good
match for zirconium.

KIMBLER:
For zirconium?

‐Wow.
‐Yeah.

That would be unusual.

VELASQUEZ:
This is a good match
for molybdenum.

KIMBLER:
So, now we've got not only

zirconium in there,
but we have molybdenum.

And those are considered
impurities, Giorgio,

but they shouldn't be there.

But what does that mean when
you say it shouldn't be there?

KIMBLER:
Because that's
unusual for any alloys

that I've looked at previously.

It's part of our
high‐tech industry.

VELASQUEZ:
It's weird for me, too.

So, you'd see molybdenum
in a stainless steel,

but not an iron copper alloy.

‐KIMBLER: Yeah.
‐VELASQUEZ: Yeah.

‐KIMBLER: I agree with that.
‐TSOUKALOS: Okay.

‐I like it.
‐And zirconium has been found

in some cases where
material has been tested

and it was somehow
related to a crash.

‐I've run across that myself.
‐Zirconium.

NARRATOR:
In 2009, a Freedom of
Information Act request

brought to light
a research study

conducted at Wright‐Patterson
Air Force Base in 1949,

the site in Ohio where the
wreckage from Roswell was taken.

According to released documents,

metallurgists
discovered zirconium

while examining pieces
of strange metal

recovered in the
New Mexico desert.

Is this a piece that you found
where we were walking around?

Absolutely.

In fact, if we could bring
the picture back up,

there's an interesting
little part on this

because this is one
that I talked about before

that has explosive
cratering on it

because it went
through an explosion,

and I can show that
and prove it on that piece.

‐So, do you need me
to scan around?
‐Right...

‐See that right there?
‐VELASQUEZ: That pit?

KIMBLER:
That pit right there is
an explosive crater.

NARRATOR
Explosive cratering?

Could this curious
feature indicate

that the metal
fragments Frank found,

in separate locations
near Roswell,

came from exploded objects?

Perhaps even one or more
extraterrestrial crafts?

As the team tests the
rest of the metal fragments,

they are surprised to discover

that nearly all of them seem to
have the same elemental makeup.

There's definitely a similarity.

I mean, it looks like
it's the same material.

It's just in
different proportions.

Boy.

VELASQUEZ:
So, it could be the same stuff.

‐KIMBLER: I think
we have the proof.
‐HOWE: Yeah.

KIMBLER:
We just need to get
more testing done.

I can't wait to learn
what we'll find out next.

NARRATOR:
The battery of tests

being performed by the U.S. Army

on Linda's layered metal
fragments could take months

or even years.

In the meantime,

the material collected
from the Roswell skip site

has been sent to another
lab for further analysis.

But curiously, one element

that has already been detected
in Professor Kimbler's materials

has also been found
in another metal fragment

suspected to be
debris from a UFO,

and from a location on
the other side of the world.

NARRATOR:
The Roswell incident remains
the most well‐known

UFO event in history,

but there have been reports
of numerous other UFO crashes

all over the world,

as well as the recovery
of strange metal debris.

In 1991, geologists
searching for gold deposits

in Russia's Ural Mountains made
a highly unexpected discovery.

At depths of over 30 feet,

they found a scattering of
tiny metal coils and springs.

CHILDRESS:
Russian scientists are finding
these tiny nanoparticles.

They found thousands
of these things.

They have to look at them
through microscopes.

They're‐they're...
Some of them are just

one ten‐thousandth of an inch,
you know, in size.

There are all kinds of spirals

and tiny machined bits.

When they look at it, they seem
to be exactly like the kind of

tiny nanoparticles
and machine bits

that we are creating today.

What you see under the electron
microscope is mind‐boggling

because you see spirals.

You see definitely something
where the scientists

who investigated this
came to the conclusion

that these items are
artificially made

out of tungsten and molybdenum.

And so that right there
is incredibly interesting

because that was found
exactly at the skip site.

NARRATOR:
Molybdenum is the same material
detected in the metal fragments

that Frank Kimbler found
in the desert outside Roswell.

It is a super‐strong element

commonly used
in NASA spacecraft.

YURI KARASH:
These microscopic spirals

were made of wolfram
and molybdenum.

The melting temperature
for wolfram is above

6,000 degrees Fahrenheit,

and for molybdenum is about
5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

TRAVIS TAYLOR:
Some, uh, version of NASA
from some other star system

could send a probe here
to Earth, and it could fail, uh,

and crash into Earth, and‐and
we would look at it and think,

"Wow, where did this come from?"

Maybe one day, we might be
creating our own Roswell

when we send our first
probe to the nearest star.

NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut
theorists point out

that dozens of visitors to the
Ural Mountains have reported

encounters with strange,
cigar‐shaped craft

trailing fire across the sky.

Could this be the
Russian Roswell?

Indeed, people living
in the Ural Mountains,

maybe more often than, uh,

people living in
other parts of Russia,

witness some strange phenomena
in the air and on the ground.

PAUL STONEHILL:
Ural Mountains are
a very interesting space

in the paranormal
history of Russia.

And I've studied a lot
because there have always been

incredible UFO sightings
in the Ural Mountains.

There are stories
of civilizations

that have disappeared
or went under the ground.

Uh, the so‐called, uh, dwarf
people in the Ural Mountains.

NARRATOR:
If the nanoparticles discovered
in the Ural Mountains are debris

from a crashed alien craft,

they bring up another
intriguing possibility,

because based on how deep
below the earth they were found,

they could have been deposited
there thousands of years ago.

There's thinking that
these things must be

over 50,000 years old.

So, is this also a debris field

from a crashed extraterrestrial
craft in the Ural Mountains?

There could be crash
sites all over the world

that are hundreds of
thousands of years old,

right up to modern times.

NARRATOR:
Rumors abound that
there are facilities

located all over the world
holding the remnants

of crashed
extraterrestrial craft,

like in the remote
hills of China,

at Pine Gap in Australia,

and Rudloe Manor in England.

TSOUKALOS:
Who knows if over the chronology
of the history of planet Earth

there were more craft, just like
at Roswell, that crashed?

NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Roswell is

just one of many
locations on planet Earth

where debris from
crashed extraterrestrial craft

can be found?

Perhaps further testing that was
conducted on the metal fragments

unearthed near the Roswell
skip site will reveal

indisputable evidence
of alien visitation.

NARRATOR:
Giorgio Tsoukalos meets
Linda Moulton Howe at her home

two weeks after sending out
the materials collected

at the Roswell crash site to
a laboratory in Dallas, Texas,

for further testing.

Aaron Velasquez, who
performed the initial testing,

has received and
analyzed the data.

‐Hi, Aaron.
‐Good to see you again.
How are you?

Nice to see you guys.
I've been well.

We're sitting here
on pins and needles.

So, what can you show us?

So, we found that, of the
samples of Frank's material,

three of them,
while they look like the rest,

have a very, very high
concentration of carbon in them.

Much more than the aluminum,
despite what they look like.

There's been some supposition

that that could be
from high heat.

So that was odd.

But odder still is we had

one sample of the five
which had

indium, which is
a very rare element.

So it's not the sort of thing
that you would get

by accident, guaranteed.

So are we talking
about something

that's really strange here?

Yes. Yes.

Well, uh, what about
those wires that we found?

Yeah.

So, that is also odd.

So, the elements that
we found with the wire

were all explainable, except
it, too, had indium in it.

What about evidence
of impact and heat?

Yes, that's another thing
that we noted.

It was very obvious

under the scanning
electron microscope

that these had been subjected
to very, very high heat.

They were melted.

There was also
some shearing apparent.

So, these were, these were
cut or sliced by...

by some action as well over
the years, or‐or at an impact.

That's‐that's incredible.

Yes, it's very interesting.

NARRATOR:
For Giorgio and Linda,

the results are nothing
less than astonishing.

Multiple tests have now
confirmed that the materials

recovered at
the Roswell skip site

are of a highly unusual nature,

and show evidence of having
been subjected to an explosion.

Might the strange layered
material being examined

by the U.S. Army prove to
be even more extraordinary?

HOWE:
In the bismuth, magnesium, zinc,

we're dealing with technologies
that astound people

who are in exotic metals
because they couldn't make

the bismuth, magnesium, zinc,

and a physicist tells
me this is the key.

This is the crux of how
this kind of technology

makes possible the
unidentified flying objects

move in such astounding ways.

MAN:
Whoa!

And in this whole
issue of finding

more materials from UFOs,
I'm still on the trail.

TSOUKALOS: Oftentimes,
I'm told that to suggest that

a UFO, an extraterrestrial
craft, crashed at Roswell

is nonsensical because
extraterrestrials can fly

across the galaxy,
and then they crash on Earth?

Well, yeah. You know why?

'Cause it's technology,
and technology fails.

I think that there may be more
material there to be found.

NARRATOR:
Is physical evidence

of an extraterrestrial presence
on Earth right beneath our feet?

Could there be debris
from crashed alien craft

not only in the
New Mexico desert

but all across the world?

Perhaps the materials that
have already been recovered

will soon provide
the ultimate proof

that we are not alone
in the universe,

or even on our own planet.
